Four-wave mixing in a monolayer graphene-covered tapered fiber is theoretically analyzed by taking into account the influence of graphene layer on the light field distribution. A figure-of-merit (FOM) coefficient considering both the high nonlinearity and the heavy absorption is redefined to evaluate the nonlinear performance. The fiber diameter and length are optimized to acquire a higher FOM. Using such a graphene-covered tapered fiber with an optimal diameter of 0.736 μm, a maximum conversion efficiency of -38.07 dB is numerically obtained for the 1.55-μm pump when the graphene length is 34.4 μm and the peak pump power is 10 W. Moreover, a 3-dB bandwidth as broad as 430 nm can be realized in the 1.55-μm telecommunication band.
Keywords:graphene-covered fiber; figure of merit; nonlinearity; four-wave mixing
